The New York Times 2020s: on Government Reform


Lee Zeldin: Voted to overturn 2020 presidential election results

In his campaign announcement video, Mr. Zeldin made no mention of Mr. Trump, instead seeking to keep his message focused on quality-of-life concerns and economic matters and lacing into Mr. Cuomo. But there is no doubt about how deeply he has embraced Mr. Trump and his politics, including by voting to overturn the results of the November election.

Mitt Romney: 2021: remove Trump from office; 2024: he's not fit to lead

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee who made a historic break with his party when he voted to remove former President Donald J. Trump from office [as the result of impeachment], announced that he would not seek re-election in 2024.

In the video announcing his retirement, Mr. Romney said that neither Mr. Biden nor Mr. Trump, the current front-runner for the Republican nomination, was addressing the nation's most critical challenges, including climate change, mounting debt and authoritarian threats from Russia and China, and hinted that they were not fit to lead the nation into the future.
